Evidence-Informed Approaches for Flexible Online Care
Dr. Shelby Friery integrates practical, research-backed methods into online work to address stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that hold someone back. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for mood regulation and coping with everyday challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that supports a person’s own motivation to change, useful when someone feels uncertain or stuck about next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shelby collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as those needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care in a way that aligns with each client’s priorities.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
